Thanks, Charles. I feel kinda stupid. Apparently there was getmail
installed in /usr/bin/ and also in /usr/local/bin/. Strangely enough
both executables claimed to be 4.48 but the one in /usr/bin/ had a
time stamp from 2013 so I doubt that ...
Anyway, I followed your suggestion and removed the /usr/bin/ one and
everything's back to normal.

Again, sorry for wasting your time. And again, thanks for answering so
politely and guiding me to a solution.
